Chapter Eighty-Four: How to Sleep
In Qingpingzhai, when they heard the description of Jinshu, everyone felt very encouraged: the official family was willing to see Qingzhou, and Mr. Tong personally accompanied him, and the situation was extremely favorable. Besides, Cheongju didn't even sit in the prisoner's car, and it seems that the official family must have changed their views under the persuasion of Mr. Tong, and the case must have taken a turn for the better. Xiang Kang said a few words in a row: "Okay." His heart was a lot more stable, and he said to Zhang Yunhua: "Lao Zhang, since this is the case, I will go back first, tomorrow there will be drills in the patrol battalion, I have to keep an eye on it." ”
Hearing this, Yunhua hurriedly got up and said, "Okay, let's go, I'll send you." Xiang Kang said goodbye to Su Mengtang, Ou Jinshu and others, and together with Yunhua, took Ah Feng and walked outside. When he walked inside the gate, Ah Feng said, "Wait a minute, Childe, I'll lead the horse." Xiang Kang nodded in agreement, and when Ah Feng left, Yunhua said softly: "Old Xiang, the two people that Ning'er asked you to check, is there any news from the patrol battalion?" ”
Xiang Kang shook his head and said: "After all, there are too many involved, and I don't want them to ask on the street with great fanfare, only to inform the brothers at the various city gates and patrolling the city, but if you see the two of them, report back to me immediately." Yun Hua was a little worried when he heard this: "How do they know what kind of two people you are looking for?" Xiang Kang glanced back at Yunhua and said: "Ning'er has already described the size and appearance of those two people to me in detail, rest assured, all of my people are ears and eyes, and there is absolutely no mistake." ”
Zhang Yunhua felt a little uneasy in his heart for a while, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly, so he only patted Xiang and said: "I believe you, these two people must not appear in Lin'an, this matter must be taken seriously." "Hey, Lao Zhang, just rest assured, I know what's at stake." Xiang Kang hurriedly said, he saw that Ah Feng had already led the horse from the west, so he turned his head and said to Yunhua again: "Whenever there is news of these two people, I will send you a message as soon as possible." With that, he took the reins behind the ears of one of his steeds named "Cai Li" and turned over on the horse.
Yun Hua watched Xiang Kang and Ah Feng disappear at the end of Xinghua Alley, and then ordered Uncle Feng to close the door and return to the hall by himself. At this moment, Su Mengtang had already asked Jinshu to take Qiuqiu back to the wing room to rest, and he was alone in the hall waiting for Yunhua to send the guests back. Seeing Yunhua's face with a little sadness, Su Mengtang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is something wrong?" Yunhua shook his head lightly, sat down on the chair and said, "The matter in Cheongju has not been completely put down, and now I think of the matter of Coral again, and I can't help but be a little worried." ”
Su Mengtang also sat down and said with relief: "At all the gates of Lin'an, there are people from Brother Xiang's patrol battalion, and the coral is outstanding, even if it is mixed in the crowd, it is easy to be recognized, Brother Yunhua should not worry too much." These words didn't seem to reassure Yun Hua much, he shook his head calmly, and said: "I'm afraid that they will dress up in disguise and deceive the soldiers guarding the city to enter Lin'an, and we will fall into passivity." When Zhuo Ran came back from Jiangning, Guoyun Pavilion reopened, and asked him to inquire with all parties. ”
Li Zhuoran's Guoyun Pavilion brings together people from three religions and nine streams all the year round, although it is said to be a library pavilion for people to read books and drink tea, in essence, it can be regarded as Li Zhuoran's Jianghu intelligence agency in Lin'an. He has always talked about righteousness, and he has made a lot of friends, these people get together to drink tea and read, and naturally exchange some experiences, Li Zhuoran can learn what he wants to know, or take the initiative to ask them to inquire about some news about the rivers and lakes, and everyone is also very dedicated. After a long time, the books of Guoyun Pavilion have become decorations, and the essence is that everyone transmits information.
Guoyun Pavilion can prosper in business, relying on the curiosity that everyone in the world has. A place full of grievances and hatreds, everyone wants to listen to it and talk about it. The story here is much more exciting than the legend in the book. Li Zhuoran, the master of the Cloud Pavilion, inadvertently became the number one intelligence king in Lin'an. Here, as long as the people who come do not talk about state affairs and do not involve official affairs, all news can be transmitted at will without any constraints.
But since he was poisoned in Qingzhou, Li Zhuoran closed the door and went to Jiangning to take care of him. The poisoning matter came to an end, and Qingzhou was framed in vain, and Li Zhuoran rushed to Jiangning again, so he passed through the Cloud Pavilion for several days. Yun Hua thought that when Zhuo Ran came back, he asked his ranger friends to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Coral and Hou Zhen.
At present, Li Zhuoran is returning to Jiangning County with Wang Hui, and the group walked directly backwards to the place where Changfan was held. Jiangning County Prison is naturally not as magnificent as the dungeon with the fishbone-shaped layout of Dali Temple, just a long corridor where you can see the head at a glance, and the lights are dim. The cells on both sides are separated only by wooden fences, so that the prisoners in different cells can see each other. Wang Hui once said that this is to facilitate the supervision of prisoners among themselves, if someone tries to commit suicide or escape from prison, the neighboring prisoner will immediately report to the jailer after discovering it, and the punishment can be reduced, and the misdemeanor can even be released directly.
At this time, Changfan had already changed into a white prison uniform with the word "prisoner" written on it, his hair was scattered, and he was alone in a cell. He expected that Li Zhuoran would come to look for him, so he didn't fall asleep, but just sat in a corner with a gloomy expression. Li Zhuoran stood outside the fence, unable to speak for a long time, Wang Hui saw this, and said to Li Zhuoran: "Zhuoran, we are waiting outside, you ask." Li Zhuoran turned around and said, "Lord Wang, help me open this door, I'll go in." ”
Wang Hui hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Zhuo Ran, this Changfan may be the murderer of the shopkeeper Rong, I am afraid that he has some kung fu on his body." Li Zhuoran smiled weakly: "I'm still afraid that he won't succeed, Brother Wang don't worry." Wang Hui and Shao Shoutie glanced at each other, and when they saw that he had no objection, they said to the jailer next to him: "Okay, open it for him." Behind him, a jailer pulled out the key to the fish and stepped forward to unlock it.
The movement of a group of people caused the other prisoners to raise their heads to watch, and several jailers took the scabbard at their waists in their hands, "banged" on the fence, and said intimidatingly: "All sleep, don't look at it." The prisoners did not dare to look any further. Li Zhuoran walked into the fence gate and faced the long sail, Wang Hui turned around and took the lead towards the outside of the corridor. When the county prison returned to calm, Li Zhuoran stepped forward and slapped Changfan hard.
